I love reading Alzheimer's Weekly on my computer. It is full of interesting and educational material. I am one of the baby boomers and like my father in law before me I also can get this terrible disease called Alzheimer's. It is important to keep up on anything I can do to slim the chance. I hope you find these links helpful.

Please remember it is important to take care of yourself while caring for your Alzheimer's/ Dementia loved one. Please make sure you have a good support group and get respite care.
